Games like 23 Knives

Looking for games like 23 Knives? It lives on the energy of a full, loud table and quick rounds — built on the paranoia of not knowing who's really on your side. This page rounds up 12 of the closest alternatives, scored on mechanical overlap with the original (45%), complexity match (35%), and player-count fit (20%), then weighted by BoardGameGeek community ratings so every pick is one players genuinely rate. The strongest matches come first; the further down you go, the more a game trades exact overlap for a fresh take on the same core appeal.
